Ihave already written a macro to do this in Word 2003 that works like this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe""www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22" _ & Trim(strSearchTerm) &"%22""" First you select a word (or a few words), and these go into the variablestrSearchTerm. Then you click a hotkey to call the macro and Firefox is opened with the parameters shown above, causing Google to search for the word (or words) automatically. So it’s just two steps: select the word and click the hotkey. The macro does the rest. The reason I want to convert this Word macro to a Macro Recorder macrois so I can use it from any Windows program. If I can get it working, I’ll post the code here. edited by Johnny on 12/29/2009 edited by Johnny on 12/29/2009

Copy the search term to the clipboard, launch Google with macro recorder and then send "Ctrl+V" to paste the text into the search window.
